¹

Thou therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

¹

(Заⷱ҇ ©ч҃в҃.) Ты̀ оу҆̀бо, ча́до моѐ, возмога́й во блгⷣти, ꙗ҆́же ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ,

²

And the things which thou hast heard from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

²

и҆ ꙗ҆̀же слы́шалъ є҆сѝ ѿ менє̀ мно́гими свидѣ́тєли, сїѧ̑ преда́ждь вѣ̑рнымъ человѣ́кѡмъ, и҆̀же дово́лни бꙋ́дꙋтъ и҆ и҆ны́хъ наꙋчи́ти.

³

Thou therefore suffer hardship, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

³

Ты̀ оу҆̀бо ѕлопостраждѝ ꙗ҆́кѡ до́бръ во́инъ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́въ.

⁴

No soldier on service entangleth himself in the affairs of this life; that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.

⁴

Никто́же (бо) во́инъ быва́ѧ ѡ҆бѧзꙋ́етсѧ кꙋ́плѧми жите́йскими, да воево́дѣ оу҆го́денъ бꙋ́детъ.

⁵

And if also a man contend in the games, he is not crowned, except he have contended lawfully.

⁵

А҆́ще же и҆ постра́ждетъ [подвиза́етсѧ] кто̀, не вѣнча́етсѧ, а҆́ще не зако́ннѡ мꙋ́ченъ бꙋ́детъ [бꙋ́детъ подвиза́тисѧ].

⁶

The husbandman that laboreth must be the first to partake of the fruits.

⁶

Трꙋжда́ющемꙋсѧ дѣ́лателю пре́жде подоба́етъ ѿ плода̀ вкꙋси́ти.

⁷

Consider what I say; may the Lord indeed give thee understanding in all things.

⁷

Разꙋмѣ́й, ꙗ҆̀же глаго́лю: да да́стъ оу҆̀бо тебѣ̀ гдⷭ҇ь ра́зꙋмъ ѡ҆ все́мъ.

⁸

Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel:

⁸

Помина́й (гдⷭ҇а) і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀ воста́вшаго ѿ ме́ртвыхъ, ѿ сѣ́мене дв҃дова, по бл҃говѣствова́нїю моемꙋ̀,

⁹

wherein I suffer hardship unto bonds, as a malefactor; but the word of God is not bound.

⁹

въ не́мже ѕлостраждꙋ̀ да́же до оу҆́зъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѕлодѣ́й: но сло́во бж҃їе не вѧ́жетсѧ.

¹⁰

Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

¹⁰

Сегѡ̀ ра́ди всѧ̑ терплю̀ и҆збра́нныхъ ра́ди, да и҆ ті́и спⷭ҇нїе оу҆лꙋча́тъ є҆́же ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ, со сла́вою вѣ́чною.

¹¹

Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him:

¹¹

(Заⷱ҇ ©ч҃г҃.) Вѣ́рно сло́во: а҆́ще бо съ ни́мъ оу҆мро́хомъ, то̀ съ ни́мъ и҆ ѡ҆живе́мъ:

¹²

if we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

¹²

а҆́ще терпи́мъ, съ ни́мъ и҆ воцр҃и́мсѧ: а҆́ще ѿве́ржемсѧ, и҆ то́й ѿве́ржетсѧ на́съ:

¹³

if we are faithless, he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

¹³

а҆́ще не вѣ́рꙋемъ, ѻ҆́нъ вѣ́ренъ пребыва́етъ: ѿрещи́сѧ бо себє̀ не мо́жетъ.

¹⁴

Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them in the sight of the Lord, that they strive not about words, to no profit, to the subverting of them that hear.

¹⁴

Сїѧ̑ воспомина́й, засвидѣ́телствꙋѧ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, не словопрѣ́тисѧ, ни на кꙋ́юже потре́бꙋ, на разоре́нїе слы́шащихъ.

¹⁵

Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth.

¹⁵

Потщи́сѧ себѐ и҆скꙋ́сна поста́вити пред̾ бг҃омъ, дѣ́лателѧ непосты́дна, пра́вѡ пра́вѧща сло́во и҆́стины.

¹⁶

But shun profane babblings: for they will proceed further in ungodliness,

¹⁶

Скве́рныхъ же тщегла́сїй ѿмета́йсѧ: наипа́че бо преспѣ́ютъ въ нече́стїе,

¹⁷

and their word will eat as doth a gangrene: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

¹⁷

и҆ сло́во и҆́хъ ꙗ҆́кѡ га́ггрена жи́ръ ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ: ѿ ни́хже є҆́сть ѵ҆мене́й и҆ фїли́тъ,

¹⁸

men who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and overthrow the faith of some.

¹⁸

и҆̀же ѡ҆ и҆́стинѣ погрѣши́ста, глагѡ́люща, ꙗ҆́кѡ воскрⷭ҇нїе оу҆жѐ бы́сть: и҆ возмꙋща́ютъ нѣ́которыхъ вѣ́рꙋ.

¹⁹

Howbeit the firm foundation of God standeth, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his: and, Let everyone that nameth the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.

¹⁹

Тве́рдое оу҆̀бо ѡ҆снова́нїе бж҃їе стои́тъ, и҆мꙋ́щее печа́ть сїю̀: позна̀ гдⷭ҇ь сꙋ́щыѧ своѧ̑, и҆: да ѿстꙋ́питъ ѿ непра́вды всѧ́къ и҆менꙋ́ѧй и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇не.

²⁰

Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some unto honor, and some unto dishonor.

²⁰

(Заⷱ҇ ©ч҃д҃.) Въ вели́цѣмъ же домꙋ̀ не то́чїю сосꙋ́ди зла́ти и҆ сре́брѧни сꙋ́ть, но и҆ древѧ́ни и҆ гли́нѧни: и҆ ѻ҆́ви оу҆́бѡ въ че́сть, ѻ҆́ви же не въ че́сть.

²¹

If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, prepared unto every good work.

²¹

А҆́ще оу҆̀бо кто̀ ѡ҆чи́ститъ себѐ ѿ си́хъ, бꙋ́детъ сосꙋ́дъ въ че́сть, ѡ҆сщ҃е́нъ и҆ бл҃гопотре́бенъ влⷣцѣ, на всѧ́кое дѣ́ло бл҃го́е оу҆гото́ванъ.

²²

But flee youthful lusts, and follow after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

²²

По́хотей ю҆́ныхъ бѣ́гай, держи́сѧ же пра́вды, вѣ́ры, любвѐ, ми́ра со всѣ́ми призыва́ющими гдⷭ҇а ѿ чи́стагѡ се́рдца.

²³

But foolish and ignorant questionings refuse, knowing that they gender strifes.

²³

Бꙋ́ихъ же и҆ ненака́занныхъ стѧза́нїй ѿрица́йсѧ, вѣ́дый, ꙗ҆́кѡ ражда́ютъ сва̑ры:

²⁴

And the Lord’s servant must not strive, but be gentle toward all, apt to teach, forbearing,

²⁴

рабꙋ́ же гдⷭ҇ню не подоба́етъ свари́тисѧ, но ти́хꙋ бы́ти ко всѣ̑мъ, оу҆чи́телнꙋ, неѕло́бивꙋ,

²⁵

in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth,

²⁵

съ кро́тостїю наказꙋ́ющꙋ проти̑вныѧ, є҆да̀ ка́кѡ да́стъ и҆̀мъ бг҃ъ покаѧ́нїе въ ра́зꙋмъ и҆́стины,

²⁶

and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him unto his will.

²⁶

и҆ возни́кнꙋтъ ѿ дїа́волскїѧ сѣ́ти, жи́ви оу҆ловле́ни ѿ негѡ̀ въ свою̀ є҆гѡ̀ во́лю.
